It is principal part sectional drawing which shows the state which removed the overcap from the extraction assistance tool based on the other form of this invention with the opening part of a container.

  Hereinafter, with reference to drawings, the pouring aid 1 for drink containers which is one form of the present invention is explained in detail.

  The dispensing aid 1 has a mounting portion 2 that is mounted on the mouth portion 11 of the container 10. The mounting portion 2 is attached to and detached from the mouth portion 11 by, for example, forming a screw portion 2s on the outer peripheral surface thereof and screwing the screw portion 2s to the screw portion 11s formed in the mouth portion 11 as in this embodiment. Installed as possible.

  FIG. 2 shows a state where the overcap C is removed from the mounting portion 2, and reference numeral 3 denotes a nozzle provided in the mounting portion 2. The nozzle 3 has a cylindrical wall 4 that stands up from the mounting portion 2. Inside the cylindrical wall 4, a passage r that allows a beverage filling space formed inside the container 10 to communicate with the outside world is formed, and a partition wall 5 that partitions the passage r is integrally provided.

  The nozzle 3 is made of a material that can be deformed and restored, such as silicone, together with the cylindrical wall 4 and the partition wall 5. Further, as shown in FIG. 3A, the partition wall 5 is formed with a slit hole 6 composed of one horizontal character.

  In a state where the nozzle 3 (cylinder wall 4) is not crushed, the cut hole 6 is brought into close contact with the facing surfaces 6a (see FIG. 3B) facing each other, as shown in FIG. The passage r is partitioned so that the filling space is sealed.

  On the other hand, if the nozzle 3 is crushed and the cylindrical wall 4 is deformed together with the partition wall 5, the cut hole 6 is opened as shown in FIG. An opening A to be communicated with is formed. Further, if the crushing of the nozzle 3 is released, the breakage hole 6 can be closed as shown in FIG. 3A by restoring the deformation of the partition wall 5 together with the cylindrical wall 4.

  That is, according to the present invention, when the nozzle 3 is crushed to deform the partition wall 5 together with the cylindrical wall 4, the cut hole 6 formed in the partition wall 5 is opened, so that the cut hole 6 becomes a container. An opening A is formed to allow 10 to communicate with the outside world. Thereby, the contents of the container 10 can be taken out through the opening A formed in the partition wall 5 by a simple operation of only crushing the nozzle 3.

  Further, when the crushing of the nozzle 3 is released, the breakage hole 6 is closed by restoring the deformation of the partition wall 5 together with the cylindrical wall 4. Accordingly, if the crushing of the nozzle 3 is released, the contents are not taken out from the container 10 regardless of the posture of the container 10 by the user.

  Therefore, according to the present invention, the contents of the container 10 can be taken out regardless of the posture of the container 10 in a state where the user holds the nozzle 3 at a desired position. For this reason, for example, if a caregiver brings the end surface 3e of the nozzle 3 (end surface 4e of the cylinder wall 4) to the mouth of the care recipient and crushes the nozzle 3, the care recipient needs to be moved without moving the care recipient. A beverage can be supplied to a person.

  In particular, in this embodiment, the convex portion 7 used when the user crushes the nozzle 3 is integrally provided on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall 4. As shown in FIG. 3 (a), the convex portion 7 has a non-slip recess 8, and the cut hole 6 is provided at an opposing position sandwiched from the longitudinal direction thereof as shown in FIG. Yes. Accordingly, the user can easily crush the nozzle 3 by firmly pressing the convex portion 7 and the force is easily transmitted to the direction in which the opening A is formed along the longitudinal direction of the cut hole 6. A can be formed easily.

  In addition, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2 and the like, the end surface 3e of the nozzle 3 is inclined to have an elliptical shape with the longitudinal direction as the major axis. In this case, air replacement in the container 10 when taking out contents such as beverages is facilitated, so that the contents can be smoothly taken out from the container 10.

  Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the slit hole 6 formed in the partition wall 5 is biased toward the inner peripheral surface side of the cylinder wall 4 (the tip 4 p side of the cylinder wall 4). They are arranged in an eccentric state with respect to the central axis O. That is, in this embodiment, when the container 10 is pushed down and crushed, the cut hole 6 causes the opening A to be biased to a position below the center axis O of the nozzle 3 as shown in FIG. Form.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the mounting portion 2 and the nozzle 3 are assembled as separate bodies. For example, as shown in FIG. 2 and the like, assembly is performed by fitting an annular convex portion 3p provided at the lower end of the nozzle 3 into an annular concave portion 2n formed inside the mounting portion 2. In this case, the material required for the performance of the mounting portion 2 and the material required for the performance of the nozzle 3 can be selected independently. For this reason, the material which can be utilized for opening and closing of the nozzle 3 can be selected widely.

  In addition, the extraction | pouring assistance tool 1 which concerns on this form can also be insert-molded by performing injection molding in a metal mold | die by using either the mounting part 2 or the nozzle 3 as an insert product.

  Further, according to the present invention, the mounting portion 2 and the nozzle 3 can be integrally formed.

  FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which the mounting portion 2 and the nozzle 3 are integrally formed. In the following description, parts that are substantially the same as those in FIGS.

  The dispensing aid 1 ′ of this embodiment is obtained by integrally molding the mounting portion 2 and the nozzle 3 by performing injection molding in a mold, for example. In this case, since it is only necessary to assemble the entire pouring aid 1 ′ with respect to the container mouth portion 11, the assembly workability is excellent.

  The above description only shows one embodiment of the present invention, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the claims. For example, in the present embodiment, the end surface 3e of the nozzle 3 is inclined to have an elliptical shape with the front-rear direction as the major axis. Further, the mounting on the mouth of the container is not limited to screwing, and can be mounted by various means. Furthermore, the container can be employed in various containers such as a so-called squeeze container that can be deformed and restored as well as a container that is highly rigid and difficult to deform. In addition, according to the present invention, the components of each form can be transferred between the forms.

  The present invention can be applied not only to medical care such as nursing care for the elderly but also to breast feeding to infants and the like, and its application field is not limited as long as the contents of the container can be supplied through the nozzle. For this reason, as for the contents, various things such as drugs as well as beverages can be adopted.
